    TRUMP DOES THE UNTHINKABLE. by Liz Crokin
    As an entertainment journalist, I've had the opportunity to cover Trump for over a decade, and in all my years covering him I've never heard anything negative about the man until he announced he was running for president. Keep in mind, I got paid a lot of money to dig up dirt on celebrities like Trump for a living so a scandalous story on the famous billionaire could've potentially sold a lot of magazines and would've been a Huge feather in my cap.
    Instead, I found that he doesn't drink alcohol or do drugs, he's a hardworking businessman. On top of that, he's one of the most generous celebrities in the world with a heart filled with more gold than his $100 million New York penthouse.
    Since the media has failed so miserably at reporting the truth about Trump, I decided to put together some of the acts of kindness he's committed over three decades which has gone virtually unnoticed or fallen on deaf ears.
    In 1986, Trump prevented the foreclosure of Annabell Hill's family farm after her husband committed suicide. Trump personally phoned down to the auction to stop the sale of her home and offered the widow money. Trump decided to take action after he saw Hill's pleas for help in news reports.
    In 1988, a commercial airline refused to fly Andrew Ten, a sick
    Orthodox Jewish child with a rare illness, across the country to get medical care because he had to travel with an elaborate life-support system. His grief-stricken parents contacted Trump for help and he didn't hesitate to send his own plane to take the child from Los Angeles to New York so he could get his treatment.
    In 1991, 200 Marines who served in Operation Desert Storm spent time at Camp Lejune in North Carolina before they were scheduled to return home to their families. However, the Marines were told that a mistake had been made and an aircraft would not be able to take them home on their scheduled departure date. When Trump got wind of this, he sent his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami to safely return the Gulf War Marines to their loved ones.
    In 1995, a motorist stopped to help Trump after the limo he was traveling in got a flat tire. Trump asked the Good Samaritan how he could repay him for his help. All the man asked for was a bouquet of flowers for his wife. A few weeks later Trump sent the flowers with a note that read: We've paid off your mortgage.
    In 1996, Trump filed a lawsuit against the city of Palm Beach ,
    Florida, accusing the town of discriminating against his Mar-a-Lago resort club because it allowed Jews and blacks. Abraham Foxman, who as the Anti-Defamation League Director at the time, said Trump put the light on Palm Beach not on the beauty and the glitter, but on its seamier side of discrimination. Foxman also noted that Trump's charge had a trickle-down effect because other clubs followed his lead and
    began admitting Jews and blacks.
    In 2000, Maury Povich featured a little girl named Megan who struggled with Brittle Bone Disease on his show and Trump happened to be watching. Trump said the little girl's story and positive attitude touched his heart. So he contacted Maury and gifted the little girl and her family with a very generous check.
    In 2008, after Jennifer Hudson's family members were tragically murdered in Chicago , Trump put the Oscar-winning actress and her family up at his Windy City hotel for free. In addition to that, Trump's security took extra measures to ensure Hudson and her family members were safe during such a difficult time.
    In 2013, New York bus driver Darnell Barton spotted a woman close to the edge of a bridge staring at the traffic below as he drove by. He stopped the bus, got out and put his arm around the woman and saved her life by convincing her to not jump. When Trump heard about this story, he sent the hero bus driver a check simply because he believed his good deed deserved to be rewarded.
    In 2014, Trump gave $25,000 to Sgt. Andrew Tamoressi after he spent seven months in a Mexican jail for accidentally crossing the US-Mexico border. President Barack Obama couldn't even be bothered to make one phone call to assist with the United States Marine's release; however, Trump opened his pocketbook to help this serviceman get back on his feet.
    In 2016, Melissa Consin Young attended a Trump rally and tearfully thanked Trump for changing her life. She said she proudly stood on stage with Trump as Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005. However, years later she found herself struggling with an incurable illness and during her darkest days, she explained that she received a handwritten letter from Trump telling her she's the bravest woman, I know. She said the opportunities that she got from Trump and his organizations ultimately
    provided her Mexican-American son with a full-ride to college.
    Lynne Patton, a black female executive for the Trump Organization, released a statement in 2016 defending her boss against accusations that he's a racist and a bigot. She tearfully revealed how she's struggled with substance abuse and addiction for years. Instead of kicking her to the curb, she said the Trump Organization and his entire family loyally stood by her through immensely difficult times.
    Donald Trump's kindness knows no bounds and his generosity has and continues to touch the lives of people from every ***, race, and religion. When Trump sees someone in need, he wants to help.
    Two decades ago, Oprah asked Trump in a TV interview if he'd ever run for president. He said: "If it got so bad, I would never want to rule it out totally because I really am tired of seeing what's happening with this country.'"
    That day has come. Trump sees that America is in need and he wants to help. How unthinkable! On the other hand, have you ever heard of Hillary or Obama ever doing such things with their own resources?
    Now that's really unthinkable! Might be worth passing on!!!
    Just shows we hired the right guy. If Hollywood , the liberals and the
    media ever STOP harassing him, Trump will have time to do many more positive things for our country....the good ole United States of America!!
    As if any remainer would believe this!

    1996 Mar a Lago. There was a law suit but not about allowing blacks and Jews in.

    This is the only one of the "claims" I have googled. The claim is wrong.

    Doesn't whether they do or don't moppy. My point was more on the lines of everyone has many sides.
    In Trumps case, they go out their way to paint him a total monster. He does come out with some bollox, but the bollox is easy to spread all over the news.
    If he had done half those things, then there's a side to him, that some won't admit to.

    Nice link Maddy, thank you.
    Reading it though, I take the point of whether it was a business move or not. With the fact most wouldn't let them in. Now tie that in with the Trumps a racist scream? It doesn't excatly work out does it?
    Can't see the kkk opening a diner for all, just to make some $$$$$

    I'll bet Christmas was a hoot in the Swale household.
    Santa was banned for being an over 60, red faced gammon, with racist tendencies for delivering gollywogs.
    Turkey was replaced with lentil soup, because Tories eat those things.
    Carol singing banned for being a white privaleged past time, with no respect for the other minorities in the area
    Pass the parcel banned in case it upsets any Irish relatives
    The nativity play was allowed, so long as it was changed to the day Swale was born and people sung the king is born.

    The children got new stockings though. Not for presents, but to put over their heads, to beat up any kids at school in case they had double/triple barrelled surnames.

    Don't ever change Fail, we love you,

    He's not all bad.......

    1. In 1986, Trump prevented the foreclosure of Annabell Hill's family farm - True
    2. In 1988, a commercial airline refused to fly Andrew Ten, a sick Orthodox Jewish child with a rare illness, across the country to get medical care because he had to travel with an elaborate life-support system. - True
    3. In 1991, 200 Marines who served in Operation Desert Storm spent time at Camp Lejune in North Carolina before they were scheduled to return home to their families. - False. The Marines were ferried on two planes carrying the livery of the Trump Shuttle service. Trump had defaulted on loans in 1990 and the planes were no longer his to command in 1991.
    4. In 1995, a motorist stopped to help Trump after the limo he was traveling in got a flat tire. - False
    5. In 1996, Trump filed a lawsuit against the city of Palm Beach, Florida, accusing the town of discriminating against his Mar-a-Lago resort club because it allowed Jews and blacks. - False. There was a Lawsuit but that had nothing to do with the club allowing blacks and Jews in.
    6. In 2000, Maury Povich featured a little girl named Megan who struggled with Brittle Bone Disease on his show and Trump happened to be watching. Trump said the little girl's story and positive attitude touched his heart. So he contacted Maury and gifted the little girl and her family with a very generous check. - True
    7. In 2008, after Jennifer Hudson's family members were tragically murdered in Chicago , Trump put the Oscar-winning actress and her family up at his Windy City hotel for free. - True.
    8. In 2013, New York bus driver Darnell Barton spotted a woman close to the edge of a bridge staring at the traffic below as he drove by. He stopped the bus, got out and put his arm around the woman and saved her life by convincing her to not jump. - True. Cheque was for 10 grand.
    9. In 2014, Trump gave $25,000 to Sgt. Andrew Tamoressi after he spent seven months in a Mexican jail for accidentally crossing the US-Mexico border. - False. Tahmooressi was arrested and charged with weapons-trafficking after being found in possession of three firearms and ammunition, and his claims of abuse and mistreatment have not so far been substantiated with concrete evidence.
    10. In 2016, Melissa Consin Young attended a Trump rally and tearfully thanked Trump for changing her life. She said she proudly stood on stage with Trump as Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005. However, years later she found herself struggling with an incurable illness and during her darkest days, she explained that she received a handwritten letter from Trump telling her she's the bravest woman, I know.
